going back over this I found that I am one of the 98%
New They're forcing an outcome.
It "works" because of the properties of multiples of 9.

Step 1: Pick 1 to 10
Step 2: Multiply Step 1 by 9: 9 to 90 by 9
Step 3: If > 10, add digits: 9, (1+8=)9, (2+7=)9, ... (9+0=)9
Step 4: Step 3 - 5 = 4
Step 5: 4th Letter of the Alphabet = D
Step 6: (There are 2 countries that start with D, in English anyway)

and so on.

A better "trick" like this that isn't so obvious is:

Consider a group of N people. How large does N need to be for there to be at least a 50% probability of two of the people in that group having the same birthday (ignoring year)?

(Who likes dissecting frogs sometimes. ;-)
New Well, they didn't force hard enough.
I picked Koala rather than Kangaroo.
New Me too
Was your fruit the apricot?
New Apple

New Cow in the Dominican Republic eating...
... dunno... I looked up fruits that started with "W" and only found "water apple", whatever that is.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Water apple
Could be just about anything. Apple is often used as a really generic term. The French word for potato translates to "earth apple".
New Perhaps water apples grow in Lake Huron...

Weird stuff.

Cheers,

New Nah, no Syzygium in Lake Huron
New :-)
New Re: Cow in the Dominican Republic eating...
Watermelon?

'twas mine
New Re: They're forcing an outcome.
I picked a Kinkajou in Djibouti eating some fruit beginning with a u.

Only fruit I can find is: Ugni

Don't know what it is. (Yes its a Strawberry Flavored Round Berry... etc)

Of course I watched something the other day that was about the Kinkajou. And another one about the Republic of Djibouti and the proximity to Somalia.
New I took Djibouti as being a city.
The CIA lists - https://www.cia.gov/...e-world-factbook/ :

Denmark
Dhekelia
Djibouti
Dominica
Dominican Republic

New ugli is a fruit
New Dang! Completely forgot to put that turkey . . .
. . on my citrus page. Well, got that fixed.
